A photomultiplier tube is a device used to measure very low levels of light. It’s a common tool of particle physics when trying to detect just a few photons. It turns out that running a tube … ...

Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) Market Trends: SiPM is extensively employed in medical imaging, biophotonics, hazard and threat detection, high energy physics, light detection and ranging (LiDAR ...

New York, Dec. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Silicon Photomultiplier Market with COVID-19 Impact Analysis, by Offering, Type, Application, End ...

Photomultiplier tubes use cathodes and anodes set in a cold vacuum tube to generate photocurrent from the light generated by the flow cytometry. The photon, generated by the excitation of the ...

A vacuum tube that converts light into electrical energy and amplifies it. Photomultiplier tubes are used in high-end drum scanners, because they are more sensitive to light than the CCD elements ...

The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) device uses low light to from the bioluminescent assay to detect the presence of bacteria that cause foodborne illness in food samples. The Purdue team also created ...

Photomultiplier tubes are facing stiff competition from silicon-based low-light detectors. Jacqueline Hewett asks Joseph O'Keeffe, a founder of Irish firm SensL, why he believes that silicon devices ...

Neutrino telescopes consist of grids of light detectors called photomultiplier tubes, which are embedded within water or ice. When a neutrino strikes the nucleus of an atom within the target ...

Photomultiplier tubes are pretty damn cool, and can not only detect very short light events, but also very weak ones, down to a single photon.
